A Fast-Growing Town on the US 45E Corridor

Heavy Duty Towing in Medina, Tennessee is mostly about growth. Medina is a town in Gibson County, incorporated February 1, 1907, and it counted 5,126 residents at the 2020 census. The Gibson County chamber calls it one of the fastest-growing towns in West Tennessee. More homes and more shops mean more dump trucks, cement mixers, delivery trucks and school buses on roads that were built for fewer. If one of them stops, call (731) 202-9868. Dispatch answers 24/7.

How the roads fit together

U.S. 45E passes Medina on its western side. It meets State Route 152 at Church Avenue. According to the route photo log, SR 152 east leads to U.S. 70 and State Route 1, and SR 152 west leads to State Route 186. South of Medina the highway runs back to Three Way, where U.S. 45E begins at the interchange with U.S. 45 and U.S. 45W. North of Medina it continues to State Route 187 and into Milan.

That means three kinds of calls in Medina. A truck on the US 45E main road is on a divided highway with fast traffic. A truck at the Church Avenue junction is at a stop and turn. A truck on a side road inside town is on narrower pavement with driveways. We ask which one you are on, because each needs a different setup.

Construction traffic

A town that is growing quickly generates construction freight. Dump trucks haul fill, stone and spoil. Cement mixers run on tight schedules. Lowboys move excavators and skid steers between sites. Most of that equipment weighs more than a light wrecker can handle, which is where heavy towing is needed. If an excavator slides off a lowboy or a dump truck sinks a wheel in soft ground at the edge of a lot, we size the pull to the unit and the ground.

Soft ground is a real issue in West Tennessee after rain. A loaded truck that leaves the pavement onto a shoulder can sink faster than it looks. Do not try to drive it out. Wheels spun in mud dig the hole deeper and make the recovery longer. Stay clear of the unit and call (731) 202-9868. Describe the soil and whether the truck is loaded.

Buses and school traffic

Medina has elementary, middle and high schools in the Gibson County Special School System, and the high school, South Gibson County High School, takes the Hornets mascot. School buses are heavy vehicles. If a bus breaks down with children aboard, the first job is getting the children safe. Tell us if there are passengers. Our job is the wrecker, and the bus owner or district handles the students.

Local color that matters for calls

Medina hosts a Lions Club Halloween activity called the Haunted Farm, Fourth of July events and a Christmas parade, according to the chamber. On event nights, side roads can carry parked cars and extra trailers. Tell dispatch about any road closure or event barricade near your unit.
